Hi there! I`m new here, but hey, Battlegrounds is such a blast with friends, right? Sorry to hear about your laptop struggling with the heat. When it comes to upgrading, it really depends on your budget and what you're aiming for. The GTX 1060 and GTX 1050Ti are solid choices if you're looking for something more recent. They'll handle games like a champ without breaking the bank. But hey, if you're on a tight budget, the GTX 960 can still hold its own in many games.
